Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

It turns out you can quite literally see an analog signal if the conditions are right—and you look closely enough. Reading time 3 minutes Despite their futuristic appearance—for our money, they’re ...

Perhaps they can take a peek into the infinitesimal world outside with Bubo, a 2-in-1 digital microscope currently on Kickstarter. Designed for ease of use by curious novices and students alike, Bubo ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...

The DeepInMiniMicroscope developed by UC Davis electrical engineering professor Weijian Yang combines optical technology and machine learning to create a device that can take high-resolution ...

Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...

Cells in our body are programmed to die after a certain period of time—a natural process known as apoptosis or “cell suicide.” This process is essential for maintaining the body’s balance. When aged ...

The M25 microscope, which can operate in fluorescence and transmitted light modes, can be used to watch the swimming of entire C. elegans worms, a model organism used to study development, ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. In recent times, there have been leaps and bounds with the kind of microscopes available to us, such as AI-powered microscopes that can help ...
